About

Hi I’m Sam! I am a Web and Graphic Designer with a passion for creating captivating digital experiences. As a graduate from the UC Davis college of biological sciences, I’ve honed my lab, research and analytical skills and now delve into the world of web design, exploring UI/UX principles, color palettes, and layouts. I thrive in collaborative environments and love brainstorming and working with others. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me jamming with friends, playing live music, and soaking up creative vibes. Let’s connect and inspire each other!
